Anchor hole condition
When using Hilti Profis Engineering, there is an option to set the hole condition at either Hammer Drilled or Core Drilled. What is the impact of this toggle? I don't see a difference in the demand to capacity ratios when changing this toggle.

Hi Ellen,
If designing with an adhesive anchor, the drilling method may impact bond strength values. See Section 4.0 of the specific adhesive anchor’s ICC ES Report for more information. For further information on the software’s functions and its calculations, see the PROFIS Engineering Design Guide.
Cordially,
Emily
